[QUOTE=Frost 31;50993274]So the FK 96 Field Gun is now my favorite weapon in BF1. When used appropriately it wrecks EVERYTHING. As an added plus you can snipe from crazy far with it AND it can be used at near point blank range without endangering you. Not to mention that reload animation and sounds are heavenly. Glitches aside this is one weapon they've really nailed.

Anti Tank guns and TOW launchers are some of my favourite things to use in games, but in Battlefield they're rarely good due to shitty positioning, and the fact that the TOW launcher operator can be very easily sniped in BF4, which is fucking bullshit.
Atleast the BF1 AT gun is usable because you can't get sniped so easily by some cocksucker on the other side of the map.

I just notice that explosions blow around the smoke that's already there, fuck.
i love the melee in this. clubbing a whole squad before they can react is so satisfying
crunch, crunch, crunch
I hate that reloads can't be cancelled with melees.

Man, I really wish planes would break apart better on impact with things. Like, while it certainly shouldn't just boop the wall, it shouldn't explode either. Would be nice if it just crumbled into a heap of loud noises at certain heights, and explode on others.
Anti Tank Plane is fucking tits against bombers.
At times the horses feel very awkward to control. I got blasted twice in the face by a shotgun because my horse would just keep circling around an enemy and the saber wouldn't reach at him. Damn annoying.
Wonderful, my class rank has been bugged to basically 0 which means I can't have any equipment, that's why I was spawning without anything other than my main gun. Amazing.
Fucking amazing
Day 3 and there's already a lad whos hacked to 170 kills :v:

tbh 170 doesn't sound too impossible if you play this non stop
Finally was able to equip stuff again after 4 matches. Does anyone else find that horse riders have a magical ability to kill you from beyond the grave? At least 3 times now I've shot a horseback rider and dropped dead 4 seconds later because they supposedly killed me.

Has the horse continued on its course and ran into you?
Unlocked the Medic Crate. I don't think I've ever actually seen one dropped.

Should've elaborated, 170 kills in one match
Lad just sat on top of one of C's buildings and bipod MG down everyone across the map :v:

also holy fuck, dunno if i'm just unlucky or if its just every single goddamn asian finally finishing their beta downloads, but jesus christ now I remember why I stopped playing BF4 for a while.
Pubs in this game are pants on heads glue sniffing cum gargling slaggy dumbcunts, I fucking swear to GOD
I'm holding off preordering this due to how battlefront turned out but this looks promising so far.
This is already much better in every way compared to the battlefront beta, the lack of lock-on weapons and the open map design reminds me a lot of battlefield games before bad company, I only hope they make some changes to conquest and medics before the final release.

i'm finally getting kills and having a blast since i starting picking the scout class
the game feels really good. i only played bf3 for like 2 months because it felt so similar to bad company 2, and then i played bf4 for like 2 weeks because once again it didn't feel much different from bf3.
bf1 actually feels like a proper sequel though, i can see myself playing this for a lot longer. the weapons and vehicles feel fresh and fun, the graphics are stunning and are incredibly optimised, the 'super vehicle' mechanic is really cool, and the weather and destruction/craters add a great dynamic to the battlefield.
Light tank with 20mm autocannon is crazy good

The light tank in general is crazy good

I'm so happy that we finally have no lock on weapons again, makes the game so much more fun.
That being said, I think my only major problem with the game is that the anti tank weapons need a buff

I so wish they added gore. Seeing that guy get hit dead on and go ragdoll felt really gamey. A red mist and bloody corpse would go a long way to mitigate that.
Is anyone else having a problem with half their equipment not working? Every match I go into I'm listed as Rank 0 and anything more than the basic equipment (and even some basic things like AT grenades and syringes) aren't working.
Also, I'm saddened by the removal of the Engineer class. I used to love playing a support Engineer, and now with all the destructible stationary guns that role would be more useful than ever. Instead every class seems to be made to be a murder machine with little ability to support the team.
I think it's a bit disappointing things like horses, tanks, and planes are simply spawned from the map screen rather then being stationed somewhere on the map. It feels a bit more arcadey the way it is right now, like in conquest why doesn't each side have some kind of base with maybe an air strip with planes you can take off, or a stable for horses.
The older Battlefields were like this. I remember in Battlefield 2 how fun it was to slip behind enemy lines and sabotage artillery guns and the like. In Battlefield 1, it's just Map Screen > Choose what toy you want to play with this time.
If I had preordered this I probably would have canceled it. Not because I don't enjoy the game but there has been way too many issues. Not to mention I cannot even connect to a server without joining off someone, and even then that hardly works

I too miss the old vehicle spawn system sometimes, but then I remember the 16-man piles of players who camped in the base holding E to get a jet or a tank. The new system is much better flowing and everybody gets an equal chance for vehicles.
My biggest gripe with this so far is definitely the streamlining of the vehicle spawning, I don't like how it just spawns you in above the battlefield, where's my landing strip damnit.

As much as I hate it, this was also an issue in Battlefield 4.
